Got an itch to either get another pair of cans or upgrade sources/amps and wondering if people have recommendations for a next step in the 200-300 neighborhood.
Currently I've got:
HD598s
Mad Dog 3.2s (single ended)
FiiO e12
160GB iPod classic
Xonar DG sound card
I really enjoy the 598s as all-around headphones, but use the mad dogs for electronic music or when out and about.
Have been thinking about getting either a desktop amp setup (maybe Schiit M/M?) or some over-ears that will augment what I have now. Maybe Grados for rock? Am I better off trying to upgrade my sources?
With the desktop amp, worried the HD598s won't benefit much, and not sure the mad dogs will open up enough for me to prefer them as general-use headphones at home. Any thoughts?
Avoiding IEMs because I tend to lose or destroy them.
I listen to a bit of everything, electronic, hip-hop, folk, rock, dub, classical, jazz, Greek and Malian world music, etc.
